    I have a current loan through Point that was taken less than 12 months ago. The actual loan process took almost 4 months, and we were told initially 4 to 6 weeks. We worked our way through a number of challenges and hiccups that occurred inside of points structure regarding missed details. Lack of follow up and communication misfires. Now I am looking to pay the loan off and it is proving more challenging to give them money. Weve made contact 4 times as of now and the First Three we requested payoff amounts and were told would be sent within one to two business days. Now a week later, we still do not have a reply or an payoff and upon calling today was told that we need an appraisal. Ive just sold my house, so I have the sale value. I have the appraisal that Point did on my home, when the loan was originated, both of which are higher values than the current market. I cannot even get somebody on the phone, who has the knowledge or authority to provide a payoff amount. Bottom line if you are willing to deal with overpromising under delivering and significantly poor customer service, the loan structure is good for the right situation. If you expect any form of customer service, client response, communication, or even rational intelligence, you could find yourself very frustrated very quickly. I have followed their directions exactly, and still have yet to receive communication or even an expectation of communication. To date I have no resolution.

    Tried out Point and was pleasantly surprised given other reviews. We wanted a loan or investment that didn't require income evaluation (I'm on commission) and this worked great for my needs. I was really worried about the pricing but I think others they misunderstood or had different expectations of what it would cost. Worked well for me especially with loans being so expensive. Liked working with my rep too -- she was great.Pros - way quicker than I expected. Took 35 days and could have been a lot quicker if I wasn't so slow/careful - liked the website and being able to do nearly everything online - friendly agent brought me through the process - straight forward - got the money on time - 30 year term (this was a big deal for me)Cons - the discount to the home price (the agent explained it well but still wasn't delighted about it)- wish I could have gotten some more money than I did Overall Good option if you want the money but don't want monthly payments :)
